Improper connection management leading to resource exhaustion.
In high-traffic applications, such as e-commerce websites, improper management of database connections can quickly lead to resource exhaustion, resulting in performance bottlenecks or failures. Developers must ensure that connections are efficiently managed, typically using connection pools, to handle the high volume of database interactions gracefully.
Additional Notes
How would you explain a common pitfall when using raw JDBC in high-traffic applications in an interview?
